    It's definitely okay, but the premise is that you have to watch it many times, learn it repeatedly and deliberately, otherwise the harvest is basically equal to about 0, it is recommended to choose daily dramas, read along with the lines, imitate, and gradually learn.

    You can read along and listen to it several times, but if you don't read it, it will be difficult to improve your speaking.

    What do we say is the hallmark that a person speaks English well? 1. Pronunciation standard 2. Pure expression. And watching American dramas will greatly improve the above two points.

    The first is the pronunciation problem.

    Pronunciation is the most basic requirement for speaking standard English, and the native speaker in the American drama is the best example for everyone.

    When we were children, most of us started learning English from phonetic alphabet, but phonetic transcription is too theoretical, and we lack the process of practical practice, so we will mispronounce many sounds when speaking English.

    You can look at the pronunciation range of the native speaker, which is to meet the pronunciation requirements we have learned: the mouth is wide open, the tip of the tongue is against the lower teeth, and the corners of the mouth are pulled to both sides as much as possible, and the pronunciation rules are flat and parallel. In this way, the pronunciation is standard and will sound good.

    Everyone will often find such examples when watching American dramas. Regularly imitating the pronunciation of native speakers in American dramas will definitely greatly improve the accuracy of your spoken pronunciation.

    The second point is pure English expression.

    Just like we Chinese say idioms, many meanings in English have their own authentic expressions. It is very difficult for us to get the pure expression of English in the Chinese environment.

    At the beginning of this article, we mentioned that the best way to learn English is to immerse yourself in an English-speaking environment so that you have the opportunity to learn the language.

    And American dramas just cater to this kind of demand for us. The process of watching American dramas is actually immersed in an all-English environment. There is the purest English expression in American dramas.

    By watching American dramas, we can understand the expression habits of people in English-speaking countries.

    It is recommended that you read a book. After all, when it comes to speaking, a lot of sentences are still considered. Especially for exams. Some American dramas don't follow these at all. It is likely to mislead you ...

    Elementary "Friends": This American drama can be said to be a classic among the classics, and for beginner English friends, it is the best American drama to break through pronunciation and dialogue communication. The whole play is a conversation between characters, and it is very short, there are no long sentences, the vocabulary is very simple, and it is basically a model of plain English.

    Elementary "Desperate Housewives": This drama tells the story of the American middle class, so the pronunciation of the main actors in Desperate Housewives is mostly in authentic American English, which is simple and standardized. There aren't as many idioms, buzzwords, and slang as sitcoms.

    Frequent simulation exercises and repeated listening can be a good exercise and improve listening level, and correct everyone's problems in sentence breakage and pronunciation.

    Intermediate-level "2 Broke Girls (Bankruptcy Sisters)": Most of the protagonists in the play are chatting, the sentences are short, the vocabulary is simple, and the topics are close to life, with rich slang, jokes, popular words and cultural background knowledge, suitable for intermediate learners with a certain foundation: For example, whether to order a burger or beef, to say which clothes look good when shopping, **how, and to look for the trash can when taking out the garbage and other topics are very practical.

    And each episode is about 22 minutes long, which will make you feel relaxed and meet the basic needs of the conversation.

    Intermediate-level "The Big Bang Theory": The story is set at the California Institute of Technology in the United States, and tells the funny life stories of four home-top ** scientists and a beautiful neighbor. Although the plot is exaggerated, from their lines and dialogues, we can have a deeper understanding of American culture.

    If you are a science student, you can use it as a listening material, because the four genius scientists in it spit out too much physics and mathematics knowledge.

    The advanced "House of Cards" and "House of Cards" have a panoramic reveal of American politics and power operation, **, in addition to learning lofty vocabulary, It is highly recommended to popularize American politics, otherwise it is very likely that you will not understand it.

    Canadian English is American English. IELTS is a test for Commonwealth countries, and it should be biased towards the British style, and I didn't think about it so carefully when I was reviewing at the time. It's best to have subtitles for the first time watching an American drama.

    Of course, it is best to watch the latest American dramas, and there may be some new words. On the bus, you can listen to some audio, listening, speaking, and conversation.

    1- Canada has a French-speaking area, an English-speaking area, but English is close to American. 2- If you can't understand American dramas now, it means that you are at a beginner level and can read subtitles. 3- Friends is not old.

    Do you look at Daniel Defoe Alexander Pope's article Old or Not? 4- Take IELTS, you still memorize the words and listen to the listening. Plugging in headphones on the bus is good for hearing practice.

    British Biased towards British You can understand it by watching it a few times It doesn't matter what you look at It's important to watch more

    1.English in Canada is neither British nor American, it's a bit close to American, but it's not the same. Even different places in the United States have different accents.

    2.Just don't have subtitles. If you don't understand, read it again, guess while watching, watch it a few more times and check the subtitles to see if you remember correctly.

    There are no subtitles when talking to people outside, playing **, and watching movies and TV abroad without subtitles. And after you live abroad for a while, you will find that many subtitles are wrong. So using subtitles to learn English is a very wrong way.

    3.I think if you want to watch a TV series, don't watch Friends, it's too old. There are a lot of new TV dramas that are good now.

    Friends is because it was a TV series, and there were many scenes of daily life, and you could learn about life in the United States at that time. But it's too old. So I think it's better for you to watch some new TV series.

    4.I think you can memorize words on the bus, or you can find some speaking topics, essay topics, and write in your mind when you take the bus. It's noisy on the bus, and sometimes even if you mumble, no one can hear what you're saying.

    Reading and listening are better done when they are quieter.
